2 More sleeps!

Only 2 more sleeps! I think time is going to start dragging now. Baking is done except for a matrimonial cake and will probably do that on Thursday. The spare room is ready and just waiting. *S*

Monday night we went bowling and it was okay, didn't do all that well though. Tina wasn't there, the roads were still icy and they didn't want to drive in. Can't say that I blame them, so because we were short people we were done early which was nice.

Tuesday didn't really do too much exciting. I casually mentioned to Gary one day that maybe we should just get rid of his truck and get a small car for him to drive back and forth to work. On Monday night he had to take his truck in to get some recall thing done to it. While there he was looking around and got talking to a saleman. He is suppose to go and talk to this guy Thursday night about a car. The salesman said that they would be able to do an even trade. Not sure what we will do, but Gary's truck seems to be at the point where it is going to start costing money everytime we turn around. The only reason we really have the truck is to pull the trailer, and that is 2 times a year. The place we store the trailer has a service that they will haul our trailer out to the campground, so we are seriously thinking about it.

I finished up my surprise that I was working on, now just have to wash and block it. Also making myself work on my lace shawl a little bit everyday. With so many stitches it seems to take along time to just complete one row though. Last night I realized that I was 1/2 way done but am now wondering if I should really make it as long as the pattern calls for. Since I am short it just might be too long for me... will have to ponder on that one I guess *S*

The other day I went through my stash and got in more organized and took all the part skeins etc out and put them in a rubbermaid bucket. While we have been watching tv in the evenings Gary has been rolling them for me. He finished up last night so they are all ready for hats, mitts etc. I will take some of it to the trailer and just leave it there to work on when the weather isn't the best and we are stuck inside.
